U-Isaya 61

¹Umoya kaThixo Wobukhosi uphezu kwami,

²lokumemezela umnyaka womusa kaThixo,

³lokunakekela labo abadabukileyo eZiyoni,

⁴Bazavuselela njalo amanxiwa asendulo

⁵Abezizwe bazakwelusa imihlambi yenu;

⁶Lizabizwa ngokuthi abaphristi bakaThixo,

⁷Esikhundleni sehlazo labo

⁸“Ngoba mina, uThixo, ngithanda ukulunga,

⁹Izizukulwane zabo zizakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe,

¹⁰Ngiyathokoza kakhulu kuThixo;

¹¹Ngoba njengomhlabathi owenza ihlumela limile,
